A group of stitchers who helped to sew more than 3,000 sets of scrubs for healthcare workers during the pandemic have been praised for their efforts.
The talented group of 150 stitchers presented two patchwork quilts to healthcare staff at the South West Acute Hospital this week to mark the commitment of local healthcare staff throughout the pandemic.
Health Minister Robin Swann accepted the quilts on behalf of the staff, while a number of those who helped with the scrubs were also in attendance. One of those was local sewer Margaret Houston, who said the generosity of the local community was ‘amazing’.
